Abstract

An organic light-emitting device comprising: an anode; a cathode; a light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode, said light-emitting layer containing a light-emitting metal complex comprising general formula 1: (1) where M represents Re (I) , W (0) , Ir (III) , or Os (II) ; L 1 represents a tridentate ligand; and L 2 , L 3 and L 4 represent ligands, characterised in that L 1 comprises general formula 2:(2) where R 1 represents a bridging group; and Ar 1 , Ar 2 and Ar 3 each independently represents a group comprising a heteroaryl ring and * indicates coordination to M.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. An organic light-emitting device comprising:
 an anode; 
 a cathode; 
 a light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode, said light-emitting layer containing a light-emitting metal complex comprising general formula 1: 
 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
         where M represents Re (I) ; L 1  represents a tridentate ligand; and L 2 , L 3  and L 4  represent ligands, wherein L 1  comprises general formula 2: 
       
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
         where R 1  represents a bridging group; and Ar 1 , Ar 2  and Ar 3  each independently represents a group comprising a heteroaryl ring and * indicates coordination to M. 
       
     
     
       2. An organic light-emitting device comprising:
 an anode; 
 a cathode; 
 a light-emitting layer located between the anode and the cathode, said light-emitting layer containing a light-emitting metal complex comprising general formula 1: 
 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
         where M represents Re (I) , W (0) , Ir (III) , or Os (II) ; L 1  represents a tridentate ligand; and L 2 , L 3  and L 4  represent ligands, wherein L 1  comprises general formula 2: 
       
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
         where R 1  represents a bridging group; and Ar 1 , Ar 2  and Ar 3  each independently represents a group comprising a heteroaryl ring and * indicates coordination to M, 
         where Ar 1 , Ar 2  and/or Ar 3  comprises a heteroaryl ring having a formula as shown by one of formulae 7 to 11: 
       
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
         where * indicates coordination to M; X, Y and Z each independently represent a heteroatom; and   indicates the bond to R 1 , and wherein two substituents in addition to R 1  are present on the heteroaryl ring in each of formulae 7 to 11, the two substituents being linked so that the heteroaryl ring has a second ring conjugatively fused thereto. 
       
     
     
       3. A device according to  claim 2 , wherein Ar 1 , Ar 2  and/or Ar 3  comprises a group having formula 27 or 28: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
         where * indicates coordination to M; X represents a heteroatom; and   indicates the bond to R 1 .
